Then she confirmed in a caption on the video sharing platform that the family has decided to quit TV. 'This just in: we're NEVER doing reality TV again,' Taya wrote. 'To everyone who found us through the chaos and chose to stay, thank you. Your support has made all the difference through this journey. And don't worry, we'll keep sharing our story … but this time, we're taking the mic." Polyfamily followed Taya and three other adults who formed the family they labeled a "closed quad." Their polycule is formed of Taya's husband, Sean Hartless, his girlfriend Alysia Rodgers and her husband Tyler Rodgers, who is also Taya's boyfriend. Each couple married before joining their polycule and have welcomed three children since becoming their closed quad, and they have chosen not to learn the children's paternity. Alysia and Tyler are parents to two children, whom they welcomed before entering a relationship with Taya and Sean. Taya previously opened up on how her and Sean first met the other couple and decided to form a polycule. At first, the couples would meet up half way between their home towns, making 12 hour round trips to switch partners. 90 Day Fiance's low salaries, 'long' filming schedule & demanding reshoots revealed amid Happily Ever After fan backlash Their first night together, they attended an event before splitting into separate hotel rooms. When it was time to go to sleep, they switched back to their spouses. Eventually, both pairs realised they "wanted more and more" and decided to introduce their children. What is a polycule? According to the Meriam-Webster dictionary, a "polycule is a group of three or more people in intimate polyamorous (consensual non-monogamous) relationships with one another." However, not all members of a polycule are necessarily romantically or sexually involved. Taya explained that each night the two men switch bedrooms, however she and Alicia remain metamours, meaning they aren't romantically or sexually involved. Describing their unique set-up, Taya said they just "indulged in what our hearts told us and let our brains follow."

EXCLUSIVE TLC's notorious polyamorous family in turmoil as member of foursome expresses desire to explore her sexuality
A polyamorous family is at risk of being torn apart after one member of the quadruple confessed that her needs aren't being met as a pansexual woman. In TLC's upcoming episode of Polyfamily, Taya Hartless opens up about her sexuality and her desire to explore with another woman. But as it stands, she is unable to meet that need because she is living as a closed quad with her husband of six years, Sean, and fellow married couple Alysia and Tyler Rodgers - and Alysia is straight. In an exclusive preview clip shared with Taya, 28, admits that she wants to start exploring her sexuality as a pansexual woman but is worried about how best to approach the situation. Speaking in her confessional, she says: 'So I consider myself pansexual and Alicia and I have fun together flirting back and forth, but she's straight. The way that our dynamic is and her sexuality, it's just doesn't line up. 'I love my family and I love my life, but I do feel like something is missing and that's a connection with a woman. 'It's the one need that I can't get met within the rules of our quad and it's something that I would like to explore.' Pansexuality is being attracted to people of all genders. TLC reality show Polyfamily follows two married couples, Alysia, 34, and Tyler, 35, and Sean, 46, and Taya. In this unconventional family set up, Tyler is dating Sean's wife, Taya, and Sean is dating Tyler's wife, Alysia. During a boat trip with the rest of the group, Taya attempts to start a conversation about her romantic interest in women. With a drink in hand, she tells them: 'I love girls a lot more when I'm drinking.' It comes after she has a birthday kiss with Sean and Tyler but is left hanging by Alysia. After Sean points out that Alysia robbed Taya of a kiss on her birthday, she then leans in for a peck on the lips. TLC's new reality series Polyfamily arrived last month and lays bare the the two couples' unconventional relationship. The quad moved in together in 2020 and the following year Alysia and Taya delivered children seven months apart. Speaking with Today in 2023, the couple detailed how they had gone from friends to lovers and then moving into a house together. Shortly after meeting, Sean and Taya were making the two-hour commute to see Alysia and Tyler. Growing tired of the long hours spent driving to see each other, they all decided to move into a new house together in 2020 and went from polyamory to 'polyfamory.' Tyler noted that both their children knew their mom 'had a boyfriend' and their dad 'had a girlfriend.' He added that him and Alysia told their kids they should treat Sean and Taya 'like parents.' The quad said then that genetics didn't matter because they are 'all equal parents to all of the children and it's not up for debate or discussion.' The quad lays bare their highs and lows of their relationship in TLC's Polyfamily The Oregon-based family have five children between them and have kept paternity secret And although strangers may question their lifestyle, Tyler noted that having 'four sets of adult hands to work on things' helps tremendously and added that it's 'very rare' to have that 'kind of help.' With four children already and another on the way, the quad is redefining what it means to be a family. Alysia and Tyler have been married for 11 years and came into the quad with two school-aged children of their own. Alysia gave birth to her third child after joining the quad. Meanwhile, Sean and Taya, welcomed her first baby after becoming a quad, and now are preparing to welcome their second child. With five kids in the picture, things do get a little bit complicated. For example, the quad has intentionally chosen not to find out who the father is to avoid jealousy and remain committed and equal parents – which they discover is much easier in theory than in practice. In previous scenes, Alysia has opened up about her family not being accepting of her relationship. 'My relationship with my dad is really strained when he doesn't recognize two of my partners as people that I'm in a relationship with and they're categorized just as friends and not considered to be family,' she said.
